Too much therapy

This one says a mouthful...

"What do you mean you 'don't know how to love?!' Do you think anybody would ever do anything if they waited until they knew how to love?! Do you think people would even get out of bed in the morning if they waited until they knew how to love? You have had too much therapy. Or not enough. God knows how to love, kiddo. The rest of us are only good actors."
~ Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood


I know a lot of people who have had too much therapy. Or not enough. But one thing I know for sure is that all the therapy in the world can't tell you what your heart already knows. Or talk you out of what your heart doesn't want to hear. If therapy was miraculous, we'd all be doing it. And we'd all be sane by now. So don't invest too much in what your therapist says. They're human just like us. They make mistakes. They have poor self-esteem. They marry the wrong people. They sometimes bounce back. But remember this (and I really believe this) most of them are crazy themselves. That's why I use my friends as therapists. I already know they're all crazy, so I take whatever they say with a grain of salt - not as gospel truth :) And my friends will still be there when the hour is up.
